Dental Assisting

The Dental Assisting course is 11 Saturdays in length. Weekly quizzes will be given, as well as a Final Exam. Due to the accelerated nature of the course, attendance is mandatory.  An internship is also required. This allows the students the opportunity to experience dentistry from "the other side of the chair", and many students have even been employed through their internships. 

Each class is divided between lecture and hands-on training, where students gain valuable experience in real-life dental labortories and operatories. Students will practice with the most advanced dental technology on the market, including digital x-rays and intra-oral cameras, as well as more traditional dental technology. With this well-rounded education, students gain the skills needed to work in any dental office. 

Each student will receive a Dental Radiography, CPR, and Dental Assisting Certificate upon successful completion of the course and have the skills necessary to start a career as a Dental Assistant!
